[gdal-dev] world file to world file

[Stefan Keller]

That worldfile-to-worldfile tool would be useful to me too.

Then I got another use case: Google Earth (GE) allows to georeference raster
images as GroundOverlays for free. GE exports the 'metadata' as KML. What
about a converter that takes this KML (or it's parameters from command line)
and generates a world file according to -t_srs option?

Here's such a GroundOverlay-KML (LatLonBox and AFAIK viewBoundScale are
required as input):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns=http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2>
<GroundOverlay>
 <name>My Rater Map</name>
 <LookAt>
  ...
 </LookAt>
 <color>9effffff</color>
 <Icon>
  <href>http://localhost/mymap.gif</href>
  <viewBoundScale>0.75</viewBoundScale>
 </Icon>
 <LatLonBox>
  <north>47.23523669475633</north>
  <south>47.21775676333381</south>
  <east>8.832387284904627</east>
  <west>8.810965407549148</west>
 </LatLonBox>
</GroundOverlay>
</kml>
